Indiana Center for Recovery LLC

They offer inpatient residential, outpatient and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Bloomington has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Bloomington.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Bloomington are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Bloomington has 8 other centers to ask.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Bloomington, not all of them do.

A well designed program treats its own ending as a handover rather than a finish. Free fellowship meetings run in most towns, cost nothing and need no referral, which is why they outlast paid programs. Ask what is scheduled for the first seven days after discharge.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.

One of them takes the decision to use out of your hands for a while. The other leaves it with you. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Ask whether the center offers the middle levels or only a bed and a weekly appointment.
